They also like to know a great deal about who they are with and what this relationship is all about. This is the kind of person who knows their strengths and knows what they like in another person. Once this person knows they are on firm, familiar and worthy ground, they will take on a tough project, or go after a romantic relationship with a lot of enthusiasm and a strong belief that they can make things work. But, this person may usually feel this way only if they are with the kind of people that they have liked/loved in the past, or it is the kind of deal they understand because they have done something like it before. In general, this person likes dating a similar kind of person (same class, a certain look, similar goals and values), than someone exotic. This person takes their risks elsewhere.

My Personality Profile
Personal Characteristics Summary
Who you are, how you interact with people and your way of looking at the world are all important factors to take into consideration when it comes to finding a mate. A good partner will truly complement your personality and share your outlook on life. For example, an optimistic individual may find it difficult to be in a relationship with a pessimist. The optimist may wind up constantly reassuring a partner that catastrophe is not, in fact, around every corner
Two trusting people may enjoy an extremely fulfilling relationship, while two jealous people may doubt each other's fidelity and spend a lot of time arguing. In other words, having all of the same personal characteristics is not a surefire recipe for relationship success, but having contradicting characteristics isn't either. To find the ideal partner, it is important to take into account both the combination of personal traits and the ways of interacting with the world
World View
When it comes to certain aspects of world issues you tend to have a conservative way of looking at things and fairly traditional attitudes. There are some issues, however, toward which you tend to have a more progressive attitude and a more modern approach. Every coin has two sides, and you are able to appreciate very different points of view
Ambition
You seem to be a laid-back person with modest ambitions. You are rarely driven by success, and you set your sights on goals that are easy for you to achieve. Be sure not to sell yourself short! Setting long-term goals in terms of what you want to accomplish is an important factor in reaching your full potential. Your partner might be put off if you do not make enough of an effort in life, despite all of your good traits
Intellectualism
You are very highly driven with a need for knowledge and learning. Your interests and hobbies likely reflect this need.
Assertiveness
Your results showed that you are very assertive; you believe that your opinion has merit, and that you deserve to be heard. You seem to be aware that you need to take into account what others feel as well. Make sure that to maintain this awareness
Conscientiousness
Your life appears to be highly structured and you leave little room for error. While this is a remarkable quality, consider cutting yourself some slack -- the world won?t end if you make a mistake. By giving yourself so little freedom to mess up, you might be leaving others feeling like they have to live up to your expectations, and this is often unrealistic. As long as you are striving to find the perfect partner for you -- someone who meets some ideal that you?ve created -- you are really limiting your pool of potential mates. Ease up on yourself
You are a highly dependable person. While they might not always say it, people truly appreciate that they can rely on you to get things done. Doing what you say you will and being there for others when they need you are very important in relationships, and in the long run dependability is a key relationship skill
You seem to be someone who is quite orderly without being nitpicky. When people walk into your home, they feel comfortable. They are not threatened by messes that are lying around and they are also not afraid to mess things up. This makes for an inviting place. You probably won't encounter any relationship problems related to your level of orderliness, as long as you are willing to be somewhat flexible if you are paired with someone at either extreme in this area
You are generally organized and prefer to plan things out ahead of time, and then stick to the plan. This is fine, but if your partner prefers to simply jump without planning too much in advance, there might be friction. Perhaps every once in a while you could take a vacation from planning for a change and simply go with the flow.
The idea of living your life in a way that adheres to a particular routine definitely does not appeal to you. While acting on any whim is a great way to keep your creative juices flowing, keep in mind that routines can be real time-savers and can help you stay organized.
You have a healthy amount of willpower. You are able to stay focused on what's important and really counts. You don't allow anything to interfere with your overall goals. This is a useful character trait. Make sure to give in to a whim every once in awhile just because!
Integrity
Your high degree of integrity in so many different life areas is commendable. People know that they can always trust and rely on you. This is probably because you trust yourself and your own judgment fully. As someone who goes with their gut when it comes to right and wrong, your chances of having a successful romantic relationship are excellent. Others probably know they can depend on you that you are a person standing on high moral ground.
It appears that you tell the truth quite often, but other times you are less honest. Perhaps you tend to cover up the truth when you are afraid of hurting others, but you are frank when no one is hurt by it. Or perhaps you tend to be less than honest when you are afraid of getting someone in trouble. Regardless, you should consider being more consistently truthful.
You are someone who can be counted on to live up to your commitments. Doing what you say you will and being there for others when they need you are very important in relationships. In the long run, dependability is a key relationship skill. Plus, it indicates that you have integrity.
You appear to be a very faithful romantic partner. You are rarely tempted to cheat. This is an admirable quality, and is an indication of your overall integrity as a person.
Adventurousness
People sometimes tell you that they can hardly keep up with you, and that you are the most exciting person they?ve ever met. There is never a dull moment for the people in your life, and you wouldn?t have it any other way. You don?t believe in sitting back and waiting for the next thrill you create it! Wowing a potential partner is a cakewalk for you, but when it?s time to come back to earth to deal with life?s more tedious aspects, you might have difficulty finding a balance that suits you. Finding a mate with the same level of adventurousness would be ideal, but you?ll increase the number of possible mates if you tone it down at times and begin to accept some of the more mundane parts of daily life.
Your high flexibility means that you are able to adjust quickly to new situations, and are not stuck in a mindset that doesn?t encourage change. As a result, you are not held back from experiencing adventure in life.
You are all about trying new things and experiencing new sensations. When you find yourself at a loss for a fresh opportunity, you might even create one! Be careful not to wear out a person you are in a relationship with, however, if that person is not inclined toward strong sensations and a life of constant excitement.
Although you are sometimes energetic and lively, you might occasionally find yourself running out of steam. This could be due to the fact that only certain situations really excite you and give you a boost, or it could be because you prefer to pace yourself so that you don?t run out of energy by the end of the day. Either way, people are probably comfortable being around you no matter what their own level of energy happens to be.
You are all about seizing the moment. Spontaneity may even be your middle name! Surprises were invented for people with your character because you tend to appreciate them! Just be careful that your carefree, spontaneous nature doesn?t keep you from buckling down and taking precautions to actually finish what you had planned.
Your ability to let things go someone else?s way is the key to establishing a give-and-take relationship. Since you don?t need a lot of control, you are willing to be flexible when other people express an interest in doing something a certain way.
Rigidity
The thought of adjusting to a new routine and letting other people take control is exciting to you. As someone who is open to and who possibly seeks out change, you continually experience new opportunities and encounter fresh perspectives on things. Since you are open to change in your routines, potential conflicts with partners are eliminated, allowing for increased enjoyment in your relationships.
Although you have a slight tendency towards perfectionism, you are definitely not obsessive. There might be some life areas where you feel the need to be perfect, but in general good tends to be good enough for you. You are therefore not overly concerned with doing things the right way unless they really matter to you. This means that when you are being picky about something, your partner will know that it is important to you.
You are a very flexible person, generally at ease with everything from changed plans to new ideas to strange situations. Flexibility allows for compromise in relationships, with both parties having their needs met as much as possible. You seem to be well aware that flexibility can help resolve many problems in relationships.
Your openness to new experiences says something about how flexible you are as a person. You are more than willing to try new things. You do, however, have the potential to feel stifled if paired with someone who lacks the desire for adventure. If you should find yourself with such a person, it might pay off for you to tone down your adventurousness just a bit.
You?re flexible when it comes to how you structure your time on a day-to-day basis. This means that you are not stuck on any particular routine.
Dominance
You are comfortable letting people go about their business as they see fit, even those with whom you have a personal relationship. The way you see it, it?s not your place to tell people how to live their lives. You are not someone who feels the need to exert power over other people; you either prefer more egalitarian relationships, or you prefer to pass power on to other individuals.
Your results show that you are very assertive. This means that you are very skilled at letting others know what you need and want. This is a great attribute that will ensure your advancement in life. Just make sure that you don?t take your assertiveness to the extreme factor the needs and wants of others into the equation as well, and don?t try to force others to do things they don?t want to do.
You have a high tolerance for differences of opinion with your romantic partner. This means that you are probably able to accept your partner's opinions without trying to force your ideas onto her. This is an important relationship skill, and one that shows that you are willing to let things go rather than try to make your partner agree with you on every issue.
You seem to rarely, if ever, try to force your partner to accept your ideals. You understand the importance of unconditional support for your partner's goals.
You are willing to let other people have the reins when it comes to making decisions. You are willing to change your mind unexpectedly, and are open to other people?s input about how you do things. Just be sure that you ask for what you need when it comes to things that do matter to you.
Money Attitudes - Summary
Two people with similar views about money, in terms of its importance and handling, may have a better chance at relationship success than two people with different perspectives about finances. However, when one partner is very good at money management, the other partner may not need financial skills. Of course, if the less financially inclined member of a couple is not willing to give up the reins to her partner, the relationship may be headed for catastrophe. A couple with one partner who spends while the other saves could face problems.
Importance of Money
Money is, for the most part, insignificant in your life. You might see it as not meriting much effort or energy, but getting a grip on your finances and knowing exactly where you stand in that department can be beneficial to you and your loved ones in the long run.
Social Life - Summary
The amount of time a person likes to spend socializing, with whom they prefer to socialize and their chosen social activities are all important when it comes to choosing a satisfactory partner. Social skills and preferences about social life can be an important aspect of relationship success. When one member of a couple likes to spend Friday nights with her friends, on a girls' night out, for instance, while the partner believes that Friday nights should be date night and crucially not for double-dates then problems may arise. Poor social skills in one partner can also lead to awkwardness and uncomfortable social situations. Unless both partners are willing to compromise in the social arena, one partner may feel that she is sacrificing individual needs for the other person.
Interaction with Others
You tend to be as happy and comfortable alone as you are with other people. Nevertheless, your moderate level of sociability, reinforced by a lack of know-how in this area, might still be holding you back. If you take action and perk up, people will flock to you. They will want to be around you as much as you want to be around them.
You have excellent social skills. You are at ease in social situations and others are very comfortable around you. Having good social skills is important to relationships, not only in the early stages when you are getting to know each other, but also when meeting your partner's friends and family further down the line
You are an extrovert, meaning you love being with people. You are most comfortable in the world of people, activities and socializing, and that's where you draw your energy. You most likely enjoy being the center of attention. Being an extrovert is great, but be sure to experience the wonder of time spent on your own as well. You tend to pay more attention to the big picture and less to the details of a situation. You like to interact with people and you enjoy a rich social life. You seem to know a lot of people, but are less interested in deep, intense relationships. Many extroverts experience being alone as an unpleasant, empty, uncomfortable feeling
You appear to truly believe in yourself and your abilities. This will allow you to feel at ease socially, and believe that you deserve the company of good people. Your belief in yourself doubtlessly has a positive influence on your interaction with others. And, believe it or not, self-confidence has been shown to be a more important factor in determining someone's attractiveness than physical beauty.
You are an optimistic person, often looking for the silver lining in any clouds you encounter. Your attitude is generally positive. This will likely be a plus while you are looking for that special someone. Optimism is an attractive quality in a person. Just make sure that by putting a positive spin on everything you don?t ignore real problems.
Your sense of humor appears to be balanced by a more serious side. You are able to see the lighter side to some things, but in other situations, you fail to see what is funny. Finding the humor even in tough situations can be a key coping strategy in times of stress. Studies have shown that laughter can actually heal both psychological and physical wounds.
You are a selfless person, often putting the well-being of others ahead of your own. This is an admirable trait, but make sure that all of your needs are met so that you can truly be at your best when being there for others.
At times, you enjoy being the center of attention. There is no harm in enjoying the attention of others. Just be sure that the people around you are getting their fair share of attention too.
Social Network
Being with family and friends means everything to you. You tend to feel a little bit lost and alone when they aren?t around. Enjoying social activities is great, as long as you also find some time to be in your own company to reflect and evaluate who you are and where you are going as an individual. Consider working on enjoying your time alone and you will be amazed at how much more you will have to offer to the people in your life family, friends and even a significant other.
You have extremely close connections with your friends and family, and you seem to rely on them a great deal. While maintaining these ties is important, make sure that your outside relationships are not getting in the way of having a healthy romantic relationship. Committing to someone else doesn't have to mean giving up the time you spend with friends and family entirely, but a happy medium can easily be achieved through good communication.
You are an extrovert, meaning you are most comfortable with the outer world of people, activities and socializing, and that is where you draw your energy. You would be best matched with someone who has an equal appreciation for spending time with others rather than alone or as a couple
Stress Reaction Summary
How well do you hold up under stress? Whether it catapults you into action, makes you lash out at others or practically paralyzes you is an important factor in determining your perfect match. While two people don't necessarily have to deal with setbacks in the same way in order to be well-suited, the ways that they handle stressful situations should be compatible. For instance, if a couple with differing levels of resilience experiences a death in their family, the less resilient person's difficulty in overcoming the loss could become frustrating for the more resilient individual. And the added responsibilities could result in resentment on the part of the stronger partner.
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize and label your feelings and needs, and reconcile those needs with both your long-term goals and the needs of other people. Your emotional IQ is excellent, much higher than average. This means that, in general, you are able to express your feelings clearly in appropriate situations, and to be sensitive to the feelings of others as well. This will probably be an asset in your search for a romantic partner
Coping Skills
You appear to have developed excellent coping skills that help you deal effectively with stress. This is great, because it means that you can handle whatever life throws at you with ease.
Psychological Strength
Overall, you have strength of character, but some of the things that life throws at you are difficult for you to deal with. You are generally able to get by in an adaptive way and to keep things in perspective. This makes you a good partner. You rarely take things personally when your loved one has strong reactions or difficulty coping. You try to subscribe to the philosophy of this, too, shall pass,but it eludes you at times. Be sure to remind yourself that each person?s reality is different be careful not to make others ashamed of embarrassed for their reactions to events that may not faze you to the same degree.
You appear to have excellent coping skills. This is great, because it means that you can handle what life throws at you with relative ease. You handle stress in a productive manner, likely using a variety of techniques such as seeking social support, communicating your needs to others, being flexible when necessary and learning from past mistakes.

Having a problem-solving style that is well-matched to that of your partner can be essential for overall compatibility. There are many different ways of dealing with conflict, some more productive than others. Some combinations of conflict styles create problems, either because one person dominates the other, because both partners avoid conflict, or because they constantly clash over who wins their arguments. In order to achieve relationship success, it is essential that both parties come away from conflict feeling that their needs were met and that their concerns were heard. Otherwise, resentment can occur in other areas of the relationship. Of course, some couples experience little conflict, which could be a function of the flexibility and tolerance of both partners.

Personal Advice
Dealing with Conflict
Willingness to resolve conflict
Your results showed that you sometimes have difficulty resolving conflict. Conflict will generally not go away without effort. Here are some reasons to face conflicts before they get out of hand.
Holding in anger, frustration and aggressive emotions only multiplies those feelings. Learning how to express them in a calm manner will make you feel better and will lessen the chance of a major blow-up or of you expressing your anger in subtle, passive-aggressive ways.
Anger has a negative effect on health. Angry people are more vulnerable to ulcers and heart attacks.
Dealing with the source of the conflict, rather than avoiding it or refusing to compromise, helps make things better for everyone. After all, if you don?t share what is making you upset, the other person might not be aware that there is a problem. If you are unwilling to compromise, your partner might become just as unwilling to budge.
Even great differences and disagreements can be dealt with through good communication and willingness to accept anothers point of view
Practice makes perfect. By learning how to deal with conflict now, you will have a lifetime of tools at your disposal, which will help you survive conflict for years to come
Anger Management
While everyone deals with anger and other mood swings differently, there are general healthy ways to cope that apply to most people. The following tips provide some guidelines for becoming better at handling strong emotions and feelings of anger. There is no way to stop feeling emotional or angry at all, but there are ways to turn the emotion into something productive rather than harmful
Know your anger. It's important to understand how you react when a situation rubs you the wrong way, and to recognize the physical signs that signal the arrival of anger. Pay attention to how you feel, what you think and what you do when you get angry in different kinds of situations. This awareness will help you pinpoint the things that you could work on, as well as the coping skills that seem to work best for you.
Work on your problem-solving. If anger is the result of a problem, then set out to fix it instead of dwelling on the bad feelings.
Improve your communication. Really listen to others. Try not to become defensive when you feel you are being criticized. Learn from what others have to say. Speak simply and clearly; let other people know why you are feeling angry and what would make you feel better.
Use humor. Give yourself permission to laugh , whether it's at the actual irritating situation or something else. Silliness can diffuse both the physical and emotional effects of anger. Humor provides a time-out. It gives you a moment to reorganize your thoughts and to cool down
Change your environment. If you can get away from a heated or upsetting situation for a moment to cool down, you'll probably handle it more calmly. Just don't run away from things that can't be put off
Work on your timing. If now is a bad time to deal with the situation, defer it. There is nothing wrong with taking a break and then returning to the issue later. Set a specific time to deal with the problem at hand
Stay in touch with your feelings. Pay attention to what triggers them and how you react
Try taking a step back from heated situations. Give yourself some time to gain control rather than reacting immediately.
Practice keeping your feelings under control (without suppressing them) and it will become more natural. Express them in an appropriate time and place, and do so calmly. Remember: Emotion is just a whirlwind of activity passing through your body and mind. You help create it and feed it. How you react is important to its outcome.
Get to know yourself better. For example, make a list of your strengths and limitations. The more in touch you are with who you are, the better you will be able to understand and handle your emotions
Relax. Here are some ways you can calm yourself down when you feel the signs of anger. Relaxation is physiologically incompatible with anger. When you relax, the anger will subside
Deep-breathing from the diaphragm
Repetition of calming words. Have certain comforting phrases ready for when anger strikes
Imagery. Visualize something calming. Have this identified beforehand
Practice stretching, yoga, tai chi or any other physical activity you find calming. Doing it on a regular basis may help you get more "in tune" with yourself, while doing it when upset will help calm both the body and mind
My Ideal Partner
Personal Characteristics
Highly emotionally intelligent
You would be best matched with someone who, like you, has quite a bit of expertise when it comes to dealing with his or her emotions. Should you be paired with someone much less adept than you in this area, you might become frustrated with that person's lack of emotional know-how, and problems would inevitably ensue. A partner who is only slightly less able than you to understand and deal with personal emotions as well as those of other people, however, would be a good fit for you as well, and you could undoubtedly teach someone like that a lot. Be sure that you are willing to do this before entering into a relationship with someone less proficient in this area
Has a positive self-concept
You have a positive opinion of yourself, so having a partner with healthy self-esteem and a lot of confidence would suit you. But you could just as likely click with someone whose self-esteem is just slightly less healthy than yours. If you find yourself in a relationship where your partner's self-esteem is slightly less healthy than yours, be aware that you have a tendency to become annoyed when interacting with people who lack self-confidence. You might be called on to help increase your partner's self-concept; Honest praise and genuine flattery from you, as well as encouraging your partner to work on the issue on her or his own, can help you accomplish this
Believes in doing the right thing and behaving with integrity
Because you are an very honorable and upstanding person, it would be best for you to pair up with someone with a lot of integrity Having a partner who places a lot of importance on doing the right thing could alleviate the pressure to compromise your own values or to turn a blind eye to behaviors that you feel are less than acceptable
Highly dependable person
As a dependable person who consistently lives up to your word, you likely know how helpful this can be in a relationship. As a result, you would appreciate and certainly get along with a partner who is as reliable as you are. You would have difficulty understanding and accepting someone who does not do what they promises. You would rather be told the truth than have empty promises made to you.
Somewhat concerned with being neat and organized
Ideally, your partner would be as organized and tidy as you are, but being paired with someone who prefers things to be either more or less orderly than you do could still work. On one hand, you may learn a few good habits. On the other hand, you may be able to pass along some good habits of your own. Either way, someone with your approach to organization and planning should be able to adjust quite easily to a relationship with a person at either end of this spectrum being willing to put some work into it and to compromise will surely help matters
Little desire to stick to a daily routine
Someone who, like you, feels little or no desire to create and follow a daily routine would be the best match for you. You would certainly understand each other. In contrast, being with a mate who prefers to adhere to routine could leave your relationship susceptible to conflict. On the flip side of the coin, someone of this type could prove to be a good influence on you. Someone flexible enough to be willing to alter routine from time to time could prove to be a low-stress mate for you as well, since you prefer to buck scheduling altogether. Keep in mind that this can be expecting a lot from someone more attached to following a routine. Don't push your luck if you find yourself in a relationship with someone flexible in this department
Handles stress with ease
Someone who handles stress easily would be the most effective partner for you because you also bounce back quickly from tension and hassles. Although you could also be compatible with someone who handles stress poorly, and could certainly share some of your expertise, this situation would be less than ideal. Such a person, who would have more difficulty than you when dealing with stressors, could actually hold you back
Strikes a balance between being dominant and encouraging equal input
You apparently like to be in charge of others, so you would be better off with a partner who desires not to take control of the relationship and for you to make more of the decisions. However, you would likely be unhappy with a mate who tends to be overly dominant. Your ideal partner would take control in the situations where you are unable to, but would not overpower you. Your ideal partner would also be encouraged by you to be more of an active member of the partnership, to give more input and to play a bigger part in decision-making
Attitudes and Beliefs
Optimistic
Ideally, your romantic partner will be someone just as optimistic as you are. A positive outlook is a great thing to have in a relationship. There's no harm in creating a relationship with someone whose outlook is not quite as rosy as yours, however. You might even benefit from being exposed to a little realism every once in while. Being paired with an out-and-out pessimist, in contrast, could be quite a challenge. It could lead you to either resent the pessimistic party or to be drawn into a more negative mindset
Spontaneous and open to new experiences
As someone who is open to trying new experiences and to taking off at the drop of a hat, you are best paired with someone who also loves adventures and all things cutting-edge. However, a partner who is less inclined toward being swept away on last-minute escapades may be a good influence on you by bringing you back down to earth on occasion. As long as this kind of person is open to your more spontaneous way of living, the relationship could work. Otherwise you may feel stifled and held back
Flexible and open character
Your generally flexible personality would allow you to have a successful relationship with someone who is less flexible than you, as well as with someone just as easygoing as you. You are accommodating and able to adjust to just about anything and anyone. Being paired with someone as flexible as you would be ideal, however. Be sure to speak up about your needs from time to time, especially if an issue is important to you. Since your assertiveness skills are up to par, this shouldn't present any major problems for you
Political and social views are midway between conservative and liberal
Since you have a moderate attitude in both the political and social arenas, your ideal partner would likely share these temperate views. Being with someone whose perspectives lie farther left on the political spectrum may stimulate much discussion and debate in your relationship, but problems may arise when it comes to issues on which neither of you are willing to budge. A similar situation could arise if you paired up with someone with a more conservative attitude
Has traditional perspective on gender roles
Someone with a traditional perspective on the roles of women would be a good match for you because of your similar perspective. Ideally, in a relationship, neither partner would need to compromise how they see his or her role in the relationship. You should be aware, however, that research shows that relationships where the partners are equal tend to be much happier than relationships in which one person wields the power. Your flexible nature might make it a bit easier to adjust, however, should your partner challenge your opinion in this area
Thinks that money is of little importance in life
Being with someone who places a lot of importance on money would be difficult for you. You might feel that this kind of person is too focused on the materialistic aspects of life. As a result, finding someone who places either some importance on money or none at all (beyond recognizing that it is necessary for survival) would be the best match for you. This way you could avoid conflict in an area full of potential for differences of opinion
Thrifty
Being with an individual who experiences great difficulty parting with money would likely be ideal for you, since you have the same thrifty tendency. If you would like to become freer with money, however, being paired with someone who spends more freely than you could be good for you, too. There is a happy medium that can be struck when it comes to saving and spending habits. Perhaps a partner more familiar with that balance could teach you about that. Finding a partner who has little or no concern for saving money could prove to be a disastrous pairing, however. Money causes a lot of conflict in relationships as it is, let alone when you have such different approaches to handling your finances
Communication and Conflict
Able to communicate effectively
You would be most compatible with someone who is able to communicate as effectively as you. This way you could avoid being held back by someone whose communication skills are not up to par. Being with someone whose ability to communicate isn?t as good as yours will likely frustrate you, leading to problems in the relationship.
Skilled at dealing with conflict
You seem to deal well with conflict, so finding a partner who is as skilled as you are at handling differences of opinion would be ideal for you. If you partner with someone more skilled than you at dealing with conflicts, you could learn much, as long as you are open to the experience. If you partner with someone less skilled than you are, your partner may look to you for guidance on how to handle conflict, or you may find yourself the only one in the relationship willing to handle any issues that arise, which could quickly become frustrating and tiring
Social Life
Extroverted
You would be happiest in a relationship with someone who is an extrovert, like you. You would also be suited to someone who had characteristics of both an introvert and an extrovert. But a relationship with someone who is extremely introverted, someone who is not as comfortable in social situations as you are, could cause you to feel resentment toward your partner.
Possesses good social skills
A partner with good social skills would work best for you, as you have very good skills in this area. If you were to pair up with someone whose social skills were less than stellar, you would likely be annoyed or even embarrassed by her lack of social finesse
Places great importance on relationships with family and friends
A good match for you would be someone who places a lot of importance on having a broad social network outside of your relationship and who, like you, draws much emotional support from friends and family. This way, you will be able to support and understand each other's need to remain close to family and friends. Should you find yourself with a partner who doesn't value being part of a social network, this is not necessarily a deal breaker. You often like to do things on your own when you are in a relationship. Your free time away from your partner would therefore likely be spent catching up with friends and family.
Relationship Skills and Attitudes
Tolerant and patient; is willing to divulge quite a bit about daily life
Since you seem to trust your romantic partner relatively easily, with doubts creeping in only occasionally, your ideal match would talk openly about her life. Your ideal partner would also have to be a pretty tolerant and patient person who is able to deal with you when you question her stated motives are for acting in certain ways. Keep in mind that learning to trust your partner is possibly the most invaluable thing you could do to ensure a successful relationship Needs a lot of emotional intimacy You need a lot of intimacy. Being in a relationship with someone who has the same need for emotional closeness would work best for you. Partnering with someone who has less desire for intimacy than you could work, too, but keep in mind you might become resentful if you feel you've given up something important to you, or your partner might become frustrated if she feels pushed beyond the comfort level of emotionally intimacy. Somewhat tolerant individual You tend to be tolerant most of the time. Your ideal relationship would be with someone who has the same level of tolerance as you. An equal relationship where neither of you is overly critical and where both of you are able to accept the other's way of doing things makes it easier to be more accepting of those rare times when either of you feel really passionate about handling particular issue or event a certain way. You could also create a fulfilling relationship with someone who is also tolerant as well as with someone who may not be quite as understanding as you are. Willing to rely on others Because of your selfless nature, you would feel unfulfilled if your partner weren't willing to partake of your generosity. Find someone who wants to rely on you, and you will feel appreciated. Just don't let yourself be taken advantage of your ideal partner would be sure to encourage you to have your way sometimes, too. Beware if you are matched with someone who is egocentric; since you appear to have trouble making your needs clear to others, you may be taken advantage of Ready to be in a committed relationship A partner who is ready to leap into a long-term, committed relationship would be an ideal companion for you, as you seem to be of a similar mindset. Pairing up with someone who is not looking for commitment would not be a good idea, as you could potentially pressure your partner into something that your partner is not ready for. This kind of partner might also fear disappointing you by not being willing to dive into the relationship wholeheartedly. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that you are ready to take on a committed relationship. Letting a potential mate know what you are and what you are not looking for will allow for a more honest interaction, one that won't leave either of you feeling disappointed or shortchanged Sexually adventurous and openminded Finding a partner who has the same accepting, easygoing and adventurous attitudes about sex and frequency of sexual activity would be ideal for you. Otherwise you may become resentful and frustrated if your sexual needs are not being met. Of course, should you be willing to be more flexible, a more moderate partner would also work for you. However, make sure that you are aware of the possibility for resentment in this situation. Faithful when in a relationship You are generally faithful to your partner, so a mate with similar tendencies would be well-suited to you. A pairing like this would allow you to establish a trusting and open relationship together Willing to discuss feelings Since at times you have a need for security in your relationship, having a partner willing to share feelings with you can be important. Your sense of self does not entirely depend on your partner's opinion of you, but this person's opinion certainly matters. You wonder occasionally whether this kind of person is unhappy in a relationship with you and whether you will be left alone. While your ideal partner does not have to be completely expressive and open, being able to comfortably share feelings will make a difference for you in terms of your sense of security in the relationship. Someone unwilling to share feelings at all would not be a good partner for you the relationship could prove to be upsetting or painful. Independent Your independent nature dictates that for a truly fulfilling partnership, you would be best paired with someone who is also independent. A dependent partner could demand more of your time than you are willing to give. This would be a source of ongoing conflict and upset. Having to compromise your true nature could cause you a lot of anguish. Moderate need for control As a person completely willing to relinquish control to your partner, you could have a successful relationship with someone with a tendency to seek control of situations just as easily as with someone who has no strong desire to be in charge. However, it would be ideal for you to be with someone with a moderate need for control who would be more decisive than you, but who would also seek out your opinion from time to time. Your voice should be heard in your relationship, and you should get your way from time to time. Otherwise, you may end up feeling powerless and resentful Emotionally steady; tolerant of mood swings Ideally, you would be paired with someone who can handle your emotional ups and downs, but whose moods are more stable than yours. You could be looking at a rather chaotic relationship otherwise. A partner who is very understanding of your mood swings would be the best match for you Has good control of anger A partner who is highly tolerant specifically of mood instability would be a good match for you since you sometimes experiences bouts of anger. Until you get a complete grip on your anger, you will need an understanding partner by your side. Just be sure that you work on keeping your anger under wraps. YOU'RE A FLIRT!
